Price: How much are you willing to spend on a
gaming headset? That’s a purely subjective question,
but it’s something we try to keep in mind. Our best
all-around option is a bargain at £59, but if you want
to throw £299 at Astro for a pair of A50s we’re not
going to stop you.

HyperX Cloud Alpha
Price: £89 inc VAT from fave.co/30deJve

For three years our official gaming headset
recommendation had been Kingston’s HyperX
Cloud – the original, no surname, just Cloud. “It’s

that still holds true. At £84 from fave.co/2YLRXyc,
the original HyperX Cloud remains
a phenomenal headset. I highly
recommend it.
HyperX finally outdid itself,
though, with the Cloud Alpha.
The core design hasn’t changed
much, meaning it brings
the same combination of
durability and comfort that
made me fall in love with
its predecessor. There
are some quality-of-life
upgrades though, such
